Cd1 anyone like to join me for April's cycle?

[Bellabeemarie]

I have pcos and ovulate later in my cycle between cd18-cd22 I generally have a 31-35 day cycle....

Cycle 20 for us this cycle

I won't be testing until 29th April.... that seems so far away 😂😂😂

Iwas very hit and miss with my BBT this month I'm going to make sure I'm on point with it this cycle and I'll be starting my OPKS from cd 16.

I've ordered some myo-inositol that I'm going to start from today and I've just ordered some preseed and we will DTD every other day from cd 14 upto cd 18 then every day till cd 24....

Well that's the plan anyways 😁

@TheBirdintheCave you can fast track but only if absolutely infertile (I.e. both tubes blocked or 0 sperm) neither of which applies to us.
Am expecting to have some sort of follow up doctors appointment in a month (or however long the wait is). I'll be able to ask if there is anything I can do.

Morning everyone 😘

How's everyone doing? Cd7 for me today I started with my BBT again this morning so it's all systems go now 🙃

I won't start my opks until cd 14 I need to order some more on Wednesday they'll be here before cd 14...

I'm also going to order some lube because my cm is so crap! I think that could be a factor to why its not happened yet also 😕 Any recommendations?

Also I'm going out on Fri for my Birthday should I still take mu BBT in the morning Sat? I'll be cd11 so a week or so off ovulation so that bbt imput shouldn't effect my chart?xxx

@Bellabeemarie You can always discount a temperature if you know it's higher than average for a reason :)

Re CM. I used to have basically no EWCM at all. I now take Evening Primrose and Red Clover capsules and get tons of the stuff. I think it helps :) Also, we've been using a Fertilily as that can push the sperm right up to the cervix so if there is any EWCM up there then the sperm is sitting right where it is if that makes sense.

I'm CD8 now. I'll probably order the OPKs in the next few days just in case it decides to take me by surprise and randomly come early this month.

Ohhhhhhh I'll order some EPO! I've got myo-inositol in the cupboard thats meant to be amazing but the capsules are like bullets 😂😂😂 I struggle to take them 🤔 could I empty the capsules into a little water do you think?

Oh I'll have a look at that as I always need a wee straight after BD but lay in bed for a good 20 min after so I know it's still up by my cervix x

Remember to only take EPO up to ovulation not after.

CD 3 for me.. on to a new month of ttc and fingers crossed for baby due Jan 2024. Gosh that sounds so long away..

@Un7breakable okay thanks hun I think i remember reading that but if you wouldn't have said I wouldn't have rememberd!x

@Jennifer89 gosh that sounds sooooo weird! But that's the reality of it now isn't it 😱 I hope we all get our bfp's this month 🤞❤️

@Bellabeemarie I think because it's 2024 just seems longer away. I guess before we know it summer will roll along so guess it's not as far away as it seems..

Have my fingers crossed too 😊. X

@Jennifer89 me and my fiance was just speaking about this lastnight! We're in April already it will be summer before we know it then christmas I hope we get our bfp this year and our bundle nx Yr ❤️

@Bellabeemarie that would be lovely. Sure it will happen some time this year hopefully 😊..
I am trying fertilily cup this month for first time. Have you heard about that?

It worked for us first time we used it after seven months of nothing. Unfortunately I miscarried that pregnancy but still, I feel the Fertilily helped get us to that point :)

@TheBirdintheCave sounds promising then that it could help.. sorry to hear that, hope you get your rainbow baby soon ❤

Currently on cd15 and hoping for a bfp this month. Been ttc since Dec, early miscarriage in Jan. Best of luck everyone xx

@Jennifer89 yeah I've heard of it I might give it ago nx cycle, I'm going to try preseed this month, bbt & opks...
Nx cycle If no BFP I'll try the fertility cup and I'm going to SMEP a go aswell....

I think I need to Start switching it up it's starting to feel relentless now 😫

@TheBirdintheCave oh wow 1st month using it that sounds promising! I think I'll definitely purchase one for nx cycle! How you doing?

@Sambeaumont ohhhhh cd15! Wish I was at cd15 already that's another week away 😩😩😩 goodluck hun I hope you get your bfp this month ❤️

I'm soooo far behind with my uni work I've goto catch up on so much over these next 2 weeks I wish it was over the 2ww 😂😂😂

@Jennifer89 Thanks :)

@Bellabeemarie I'm ok, just wishing time away so we can get the trying bit over with. Last cycle we messed up as I had Strep A and ovulated two weeks late so I'm anxious to get all the timings right on our last go.

@TheBirdintheCave oh noooo that alone mustn't have been good then ovulation coming so much later! What a stress! I hope you have a more stress free cycle this cycle hun x

@Bellabeemarie Same, I have a feeling I'll end up early testing as I have a GP appointment around what will be 10dpo so will want to check if there's any chance of a BFP beforehand!

How are you? I think this wait before the fertile period/ovulation is the worst bit 😩

@mickey1121 I'm okay hun cd7 so no stress ATM ☺️ for me it's defo the 2ww I kid you not I turn into a mad woman 🤣🤣🤣🙈 I literally obsess over everything ican easily use 50 Internet cheapies😳😳😱 oh its soooo bad 🤣🤣🤣

Sorry I disappeared while af was here haha, it was awful.

that sounds exactly like me! Fingers crossed on your tests and that it all progresses really quickly for you!

af for me has just left but I’ve still got pains so that’s fun 😂 I’m going for a relaxed cycle too but we shall see haha

@Goblet93 ah no I hope the pains let up for you 😕

Some AFs are real painful and others aren't too bad I generally have bad pains for the 1st 3 days then they ease off,

I'm cd8 today ill be ordering preseed tomorrow and OPKS to start cd16 xxx

@Bellabeemarie hahaha oh yes I do agree too, the 2ww is definitely bad, at every stage of a cycle I feel it's the worst bit tbh 😂 this part waiting to ovulate is hard, especially ovulating later. Don't know about you but I feel like it's such a long wait and feels so far away.

I have ordered pre seed to try this cycle and also started drinking grapefruit juice! We will see.. fingers crossed there's some BFPs! 😊

@mickey1121 Ovulating later than average is so boring. The wait just seems so much longer. It often feels like other people have two cycles before we get one ovulation in 😂

@TheBirdintheCave It really is so boring isn't it - I find myself counting down the days everyday just to be in the fertile period. Also means I've spent a fortune on OPKs as I worry I'll ovulate early one month and miss it if I don't test early on 😂 x
